Legend

"Shit, it's too much trouble!

"Giggly!"

A large, and sharply wielded, death-sized blade wraps up and cuts the torso of three goblins.

Goblin blood and organs scattered around. And when I frown uncomfortably at the hot air rising from them, I turn my gaze toward the hasta fighting nearby.

There he dodged a rusty long sword that swung heavily, and in the next moment the protruding estock cuttings were quickly pierced to the forehead of the goblin, and again in the next moment he was quickly pulled out. The sequence of motions just makes you feel used to it.

"Heh, that's Rank D Adventurer. It's quite a fight."

He groans like he was impressed and turns his gaze toward his partner Seto, deciding he won't need an addition to Hasta.

"Grrrrrr!"

"I guess..."

What was going on there was more of a one-sided ravage than a battle already.

Rusty spears that goblins desperately wield without a shudder as Seto wields only one forefoot. The stones thrown are not difficult for Seto to avoid dancing freely through the sky. And Seto's blow, which is shaken, easily takes Goblin's life.

It didn't take five minutes for a group of goblins who had recklessly struck the rays' line to realize that they had no chance of winning.

"I didn't think you'd be attacked by goblins now."

"Right. I don't think any reports of goblins appearing this way were made into guilds."

The two Rays and Hasta exhale and cut off the right ear of the crusade proof site, taking the demon stone out of their heart.

"The meat... you don't need me. What about you?"

"Me, too. Goblin meat is unsavory, isn't it?... If this is delicious at least, it's still quite delicious. If you're an adventurer, you're just a troublesome breeder."

He said, "If you see exactly one, you'll think there's 30 of them, but you'll be convinced that they're breeding."

As for the corpse, he decides that the other monsters will eat more than just about 10 goblins and will finish it off, leaving it there and the two and one start walking again towards the point where Gamelion will emerge.

"Is this your first year after Gamelion?

Visit to Hasta, where Ray is walking next door as he walks down the road, but shakes his head small.

"I have had several experiences before. It's just that you took me to another party then. I asked Ray this time because that would make the amount of meat I could receive really small."

"I see. By the way, did a goblin or something show up then?

"Hmmm... I don't remember, but there's a wide variety of monsters out there in the Devil's Forest. I don't think it's weird to have goblins."

"... I hope so"

"Mr. Ray?

Hasta unintentionally asks back if she was anxious about the whining that leaked out of Ray's mouth. But Ray shakes his head small when it's nothing.

(Yes, if you have a wide variety of monsters from the Devil's Forest, that's what makes it so difficult for monsters to survive over here... this vast meadow. It just so happens, I guess I wasn't lucky enough to find it in the other monsters)

Squeeze inside, try to get your mind back together and keep talking.

"By the way, can I ask what other monsters come out in this meadow besides Gamelion?

"Right, floating jellyfish and stuff will show up at this time of year."

"... floating jellyfish?

"Oh well. If you were in the mountains until you came to the city of Gilm, you wouldn't know what a jellyfish is."

He tries to explain it like he panicked, but Ray shakes his head small and stops it.

"No, I've read it in a book my master has. It's a creature with tentacles growing from a transparent casket, isn't it?

"Right. They say that jellyfish is a monster for some reason. Well, I'm not that strong because I'm a Rank D monster. However, use the tip of the tentacles to paralyze you, so just pay attention there. And since I'm flying the sky exactly as my name suggests... in Ray's case, there's Seto, so I don't think that's a problem around here."

"Gru?"

Did you call me? Seto leaning his little neck behind the Rays all the time.

"Nothing. I'm just saying that I can count on you."

Ray strokes Seto's head as he grins.

Two and one in that way, watching out for the surroundings while talking to the public, or knocking down monsters like Poison Toad and Fangbore that strike, and harvesting things like materials, crusade proof sites, meat and demon stones for a few hours. Eventually, the surrounding area is dark green, and the length reaches the place where the grass grows.

That was a strange sight to see. Even though we are already close to winter in late autumn, the grass does not wither but grows blue like the meadows we have walked before, a sight that is likely to be illusory as if it were only here in summer. But even in the middle of summer grasslands, the surrounding temperatures are undoubtedly late autumn, which makes it more uncomfortable to be below 10°C.

"This is..."

"Isn't that strange? This area is apparently undergoing some kind of magical interference from the Devil's Forest, and the grass has been growing all year."

"The Devil's Forest?

In a way here, Ray gives me an unexpected look of surprise because I didn't expect to hear the name of the place where I was born.

From the Devil's Forest to the city of Gilm, even the wings of Seto are a few hours away, and if a human progresses on foot, it is about a few days away, so you can see how big the influence of the Devil's Forest is.

"Yeah, it seems so. Well, there's talk of that gamelion coming out so far this time of year because of it, and it's not a bad thing for the residents of the city of Gilm."

"No, okay? Leave the inexplicable phenomenon intact."

"'Cause it's not like there's going to be any particular glitch. Isn't that okay?

(There seem to be a lot of inconveniences... maybe we should do some research later. No, I can't feel the magic. Can't I find out? then……)

At that time, past Ray's brain was Luno, an adventurer with demonic eyes who could see the magic directly with his eyes.

(Naturally you will demand consideration when you use your abilities... Now, what should you do)

"Ah, it's been a while"

"Hey, isn't that Hasta? Long time no see. You guys mean you're here... uh, I see. Yeah, okay."

Ray, who was thinking inside, returns to me with Hasta's voice.

Looking to you, there were about five adventurers there who put Ray... no, to be exact, they were watching Seto and stopping moving.

And a few of those adventurers are pulling inside a luggage truck containing the remains of about a few monsters.

Long, supple tails, pure white fur, ears and fangs as sharp as a blade. All of that matched the characteristics of the gamelion I was hearing from Hasta.

(I see. Are these guys an adventurer party for gamelions, too)

"... I thought I'd stop being impotent trying gamelions with just two of us. If there is a rumored ray, surely enough fighting power for the two of us? I mean, at the time Griffon was here, he wouldn't have a hand or a leg for Gamelion."

The leading figure groans and other members nod as if they agree with the word.

"Haha. I managed to get help from Ray because I was able to negotiate successfully."

"Right.... I don't think you need to worry more than having an armed adventurer like Ray, but I'll be careful for once. Be careful. So did the gamelion we defeated, but it was kind of oddly belligerent. A little different from last year."

"Uh. I knew it. I heard you said there might be some rare seeds when you leave the front gate... that? That means you're leaving when we get here. Maybe you stayed yesterday?

"Oh. I can't find it. I can't help it. Fortunately, the monsters never attacked me during the night camp."

Hahaha, and the laughter of the adventurers echoes around.

Still reveal the night in this meadow close to the Devil's Forest, so it will be clear that a line of men is quite capable.

"We still have a couple of other gamelion-looking parties scattered around the meadows, so I don't think that's dangerous..."

"No, you said that earlier."

Hasta returns that to a man of leadership, and he just smiles bitterly that it does, too.

"Well, let's just say it's time for us to go back to the city of Gilm. It would be troublesome if other monsters came by because of the smell of blood."

"Okay. Please be careful on the road."

"Oh.... hey, you got a minute?

Chirali, and the man who calls with his gaze to Ray.

"I don't mind. What?"

"You know what? I know it might be a mistake to ask you to do this, but take a good look at Hasta."

It won't sound like Hasta. Man whining small in Ray's ear.

"He's certainly energetic and courteous for an adventurer. But sometimes family thoughts are too strong. You run wild every now and then. So it would help if you would take care of the area and look at it."

"For once, me and that guy are in the same rank D. That's more of a veteran adventurer than me, too?

"Ha, don't be stupid. The only adventurer in the city of Gilm right now who doesn't know what you're capable of would be an old man who just came to the city, or someone who just became an adventurer and doesn't know his right or left. That's all you've been building up. That's so weird that you're still in Rank D. And he has a back hand called Griffon."

There is no such thing as a lie or falsehood in a man's voice, and he speaks sincerely in recognition of Ray's prowess. Ray also found out about that extent when he looked at the eyes that were directed straight at him.

Hasta's been adored by veteran adventurers for a long time.

Exhale small and snort.

"Right. Even I don't want to imitate a cook with all that cooking skill."

"Well, that would help. Well, good to see you."

He smiles manly and slaps Ray's shoulder forcefully, one minute smaller in the head than he is.

"Is that it? What is it?

He was Hasta, who would see and ask how Ray was with such a man, but the man would just shake his head saying it was nothing.

"It's a little public talk.... Then it's time for us to really go, so hunt carefully!

Finally, the men pulled their luggage and left for the city of Gilm.

"... Well, shall we go too?"

Dropped off the back of the five people who left, and Hasta squeaks. At the end of that gaze, it was directed towards a meadow that was already blue and lush.

I guess I only focus my consciousness on Gamelion, the monster I should defeat.

"Right. Then let's go."

Ray also nods at Hasta's words and steps into the meadow with Seto.

"Mr. Ray, can you find a place in Ceto where Gamelion is from above? We can't defeat him until we find him first."

"Hmm, right. Seto, can you do it?

"Gru!"

Ringing in the back of his throat just to leave it to me, he wings growing from his back and rushes up into the air after a few steps of aiding him as he is.

"Wow... that's amazing"

Hasta raising her admiration as she sees that from the ground.

If you make it a hasta that is only a Rank D adventurer, you can't even do it because flying is impossible first.

And after about five minutes as it was, eventually Seto, who was flying through the sky, descends.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

I land on the meadow. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Apparently, you found it."

"I can't believe I found it in this short time..."

With a surprising look on his face, Hasta shouts praise.

Walking at the beginning of a line, Seto walks straight through the meadow for about 20 minutes, eventually stopping his movement while pointing his gaze towards the small groves present in the meadow.

"Are you sure there?

"Gru."

Seto rings his throat quietly at Ray's words.

……

Having determined that they are sure to hear the ringing, Ray and Hasta shrink their distance from the woods so that when they look at each other, they nod small and do not make footsteps. Hasta has already pulled out the estock so that she can release the poke at any time, and Ray likewise has a death size in his hand.

And what the Rays saw that went into the woods...

"Gah, gah..."

In a half-dead state... No, it looked almost like a dying goblin and a white monster about 3m eating its goblin guts.

Ray looks familiar to the monster. Somehow I was watching the monster's body in my luggage just before entering this meadow.

Ears as sharp as a blade, close to 1m tail. Since it's from behind, I can't confirm the fangs, but there's no doubt about it first. At the time Ray tried to put the name of that monster about 3m long in his mouth, Hasta, who was next to Ray before that, squeals.

"Gamelion"
